Thursday, January 28

Scheduling Update:  We are in the middle of the 2016-17 Registration Process.  Recommendations for next year's math class will be made as follows:

- It is presumed that a large majority of students enrolled in Geometry have thorough understanding of the a majority of concepts typically taught in a complete Algebra I course.  As a result, I will sign-off at any time for students requesting to take Algebra I next year.

- A handful of students have the requisite background to be successful in Algebra 2 w/ Trig.  These students have been highly successful in Geometry thus far this year, earned a score greater than 32 on the ALEKS assessment administered in May of last year, and earned strong grades in an 8th grade math class that included an extensive number of concepts included in a traditional Algebra I course.

Students wishing to enroll in Algebra 2 / Trig need to schedule an individual appointment with Mr. Sondgeroth to review the above criteria and come to an agreement on their recommendation for next year.

- Per current procedures, sophomores are NOT allowed to enroll in Algebra 2.


Geometry - We began our discussion of the special segments associated with a triangle, focusing on medians of a triangle and the point of concurrency - the centroid (Sec. 5.3).

No HW for Friday.


Modern Math - We continued our discussion of probability and odds (Sec. 16.3).

No HW for Friday.
